I went for a run this morning and when I got back home I sat on my back deck in the glorious sun that is very rare in the middle of winter, I closed my eyes and felt the most at peace I have in many many months.
It's the little things.
Albac -- thanks for asking. I was actually going to post something EXACTLY like this myself two nights ago.
I went for a relatively long run, and it totally felt meditative to me, and the last couple of hundred yards, where I was drenched in sweat, I felt at peace with my own situation. I was not free of sadness, but I felt good that I was doing everything within my power and within my awareness to deal with this tough part of life, and that felt good for me.
Yes, it is the little things ... that help you see the big picture.
I hope you are doing OK my friend.
